These two Madonnas and Lord Leighton's fantastic seascape are
among my  favourite paintings,   and  I'm an atheist!   This is the
power of great art to transcend its subject.  Boucher's charming
painting of  Cupid caressing Venus's  breast is another example.
Botticelli - Madonna del Magnificat (1480) Leonardo da Vinci - The Madonna of the Rocks (1506) Lord Leighton - And the Sea gave up the dead which were in it (1891-92) Lord Leighton - Ida Adrian and Frederic Marryat

Boucher - Cupid caressing Venus Bouguereau - Cupid & Psyche (1883) Sir Thomas Lawrence - Ozias Thurston Linley as a Boy Pontormo - Saint Matthew (1527-28)

Sir William Russell Flint - Ray as Madame du Barry Gérôme - Drunken Bacchus and Cupid Botticelli - Madonna and Child Sir William Russell Flint - Cecilia in June

The portrait of Ozias Thurston Linley as a Boy is attributed to
Sir Thomas Lawrence.  I have my doubts.  Anonymous works
are often attributed to famous artists.   If only artists signed,
dated and documented their work,  we'd know for certain....
